RUST magazine: Rust#26

2018 HUSQVARNA TEs – shock headline: they’re fuel-injected! DAKAR REBOOT – yeah, we want to ride this one, please BON VOYAGE – Andy does a runner (or rather ‘did’) *** Of course Husky have fuel-injected their 250 & 300 two-strokes (there’d have been an outcry if they hadn’t). We sent RUST’s new apprentice along to see what it was like. Have we told you about him?! Also in this issue: the African Dakar experience, today, only like yesterday (you’ll see); and RTW day one – what’s that like? RUST, it’s the smart read. Hope you like it! Jon Bentman (Editor, RUST)
